PIRATES boss Matt Ford said he would be running the rule over rising star Adrian Cyfer during the Blue Riband on Friday.

Gorzow championship-winning team member Cyfer will be keen to make a good impression when a star-studded line up takes to Wimborne Road.

Ford told the Poole website: "Adrian is a rider who is rapidly gaining a big reputation and has been recommended to me by Krystian Plech, who I have worked closely with in recent seasons.

"Krysztian has advised me that Adrian is now ready to broaden his horizons and is keen to try out a British career.

"So, with our big individual event taking place on Friday, it made sense to invite Adrian along so that we can cast our eye over this budding talent."

Cyfer, 21, has been a Gorzow regular since 2011 and will be considered a senior rider under Polish rules in 2017.

He will join a host of other riders including Hans Andersen, Troy Batchelor, Krzysztof Buczkwoski, Adam Ellis, Kacper Gomolski, Chris Harris, Frederick Jacobsen, Marcin Nowak, Nick Morris, Kyle Newman, Scott Nicholls, Bjarne Pedersen (if fit), Adam Skornicki, Szymon Wozniak and Grzegorz Zengota.
